US warship retaliates after commercial ships attacked in Red Sea
US Naval Ship Fires in Self-Defense as Commercial Vessels Attacked in Red Sea
A dramatic incident unfolded in the Red Sea on Sunday as two commercial vessels came under attack, prompting a swift response from a United States naval ship. The Houthi rebel group, based in Yemen, claimed responsibility for the assault, potentially escalating the already tense Israel-Hamas conflict.
According to the Associated Press, the Pentagon released a statement acknowledging the attacks on the USS Carney and the commercial ships. However, they did not disclose the origin of the assault on the naval vessel.
Reports suggest that the attacks on the commercial ships lasted for several hours. An anonymous U.S. official revealed that the violence began around 10 a.m. in Sanaa, Yemen.
Interestingly, the Houthi statement did not mention any attacks on U.S. ships. Instead, they focused on the Unity Explorer and the Number Nine, both of which they claim have ties to Israel.
“The Yemeni armed forces continue to prevent Israeli ships from navigating the Red and Arab Seas until the Israeli aggression against our steadfast brothers in the Gaza Strip stops,” declared the Houthis, as reported by the AP.
It is worth noting that the Houthis have been actively targeting vessels in the Red Sea, while also launching drones and missiles towards Israel during the ongoing conflict.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing situation.
